and they're reeling in iraq -- in iran and in pakistan -- rather in afghanistan and pakistan. let's not forget while president bush was reluctant to send drones over the pakistani border, president obama has released them. we're doing the same thing in yemen, another al qaeda center. so we're a lot safer today than we were on 9-10-01 but also a lot safer today the day president obama took office. he's been the toughest president on terrorism we've had. what is our great danger? there are always new terrorists that pop up. different types and they're smart with the internet. they have a lot of knowledge and look for our weak pressure points. that's why we have to stay vigilant all the time. it's not an accident that sense the 9/11 thing there hasn't been a terrorist attack on america. we're doing a much better job, particularly in the ability to listen in to would-be terrorists and find out what they're doing and thwart them before they could launch anything that might hurt us. >> senator schumer, thank you very much for joining us, especially on this 11th anniversary of 9/11.
